It would be perfectly acceptable to politely opt out of this kind of meeting if you're already having lots of contact with the school, which you've implied is the case.

It's a standard conference (they do 3 or 4 per year; this is #3). So it can't be rescheduled.

The only complicating factor is that the meeting with the district to talk about assessing DS for dysgraphia, etc. is next week, and she may want to discuss that. But again, I'm not sure how much will be accomplished and my husband will be there anyway.
